MMJV partners signatories to 'cyanide code'

 Morobe Mining Joint Venture partners, Harmony and Newcrest, are signatories to the International Cyanide Management Code ( http://www.cyanidecode.org/). The "International Cyanide Management Code For The Manufacture, Transport and Use of Cyanide In The Production of Gold" (Cyanide Code) is a voluntary industry programme for the gold mining industry to promote:
  • Responsible management of cyanide used in gold mining
  • Enhance the protection of human health, and
  • Reduce the potential for environmental impacts.
Companies that become signatories to the Code must have their operations audited by an independent third party to demonstrate their compliance with the Code.
Audit results are made public on this web site to inform stakeholders of the status of cyanide management practices at certified operations.
